    Default Bought some wheels!

    Yes, it's true. I no longer have wheel issues! They are 14" OEM alloys off of a '96 Miata. They were tagged that they were headed for Ebay, but I got them first. They are the 'semi-hollow spoke' variety (11 lbs.) I snagged a few missing center caps off of some other wheels to complete the set. They have a little curb rash in a few spots, but overall are very nice. I'm glad that's over with!

    Yes they are. They do have another set (the hollow spoke ones), but they aren't in as good of condition. Those are the ones I looked at last week and got the shaft on the price! Thanks!

    Do you really have to ask? Of course!

    So what tires are you going to put on those wheels? Are you going to have an AX set and a street set??

    I'm going to stay with 1 set for everything for now. Haven't decided what I'm going to do yet. I still have a few deals cooking for BBS's.

    Yeah, those hollow spoke ones had one little issue... There was a hairline crack on the outside face of one of the spokes... didn't go all the way through, but it was there.

    The guy didn't want to deal at all that day.

    I forgot about that. Thanks for reminding me! Mathews2004 take note if you are thinking about those.
